THE PRECIOUS ORCHID OIL CONCENTRATE: 90% OLEO ACIDS
This exclusive concentrate is composed of 90% oleo-acids, the building blocks of youthful skin. It replenishes the epidermis with lipids and nutrients necessary for cell cohesion and energy activity, such as omega 6, 7, and 9. The skin is 46 times more nourished⁵. Vital energy production is thus increased by 150%³. Hydrolipidic balance is restored, and barrier function is strengthened by +60%³.
ORCHID TOTUM™ MOLECULAR EXTRACT: SKIN REGENERATION MULTIPLIED BY 5³
Guerlain research has successfully captured the power of two exceptional orchids from the deepest roots to the highest part of the plant. This cutting-edge technology helps regulate cellular respiration, promoting skin regeneration, and targets a longevity enzyme to help prolong the appearance of youth.³ Regeneration is increased 5x.³ The skin's vital forces are revived, and signs of aging are visibly improved. Skin regains its youthful appearance.
THE PROWESS OF A LAMELLAR TEXTURE MIMICATING THE NATURAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE EPIDERMIS
The unique texture of the Rich Cream mimics, in its “mille-feuille” structure, the lamellar phases of the epidermis and is designed to amplify the diffusion of orchid active ingredients up to x15 through the multiple vital layers of the skin⁶.
It is also infused with three ingredients bio-inspired by lipids naturally present in the epidermis to optimize its affinity and fusion with the skin: a high-tech emulsifier-stabilizer, composed in particular of lysine, whose structure is comparable to that of the ceramides of the epidermis. Jojoba ester and plant squalane, close to the waxes constituting human sebum.
